STARTING AND STOPPING
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
WARNING! When the engine is started
!
with the choke in choke position the
cutting attachment will start to rotate
immediately.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). This is important
to avoid damaging the machine's vibration damping
system. Make sure the cutting attachment is not lying on
the ground or against any loose objects when the
machine is started.
Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your
right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter
pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Never twist the starter cord around your hand.
Reset the choke when the engine fires, repeat pulling the
cord until the engine starts.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
When the engine has warmed up the machine can be
started, even while carried on your back.
